Vehicle Metacone Springs |
|
Features / Applications |
The Metacone Spring is an easily fitted and compact suspension unit in which the rubber is loaded in combined shear and compression. |
Optimum load-deflection properties, i.e. high load capacity and large static deflections can be provided within acceptable space envelope limitations. |
The range illustrated caters for static vertical loads and deflections up to 50kN and 40mm respectively, which are typically suitable for many primary suspension requirements. |
These springs may also be considered for secondary suspensions and power unit applications. |
Metacone springs generally provide the same stiffness rates in the principal horizontal modes but alternative designs with disimilar horizontal stiffness rates can be produced. |
